BURGUNDY HIGHLAND TARTAN – POLY VISCOSE TARTAN FABRIC – 144cm WIDE

A classic poly viscose tartan combining rich burgundy, navy, black, cream and soft grey tones in a beautifully traditional check.

The deep berry-red and navy sections give the design plenty of richness, while the cream and grey areas lift the overall palette and create a striking contrast. It has all the character of a traditional tartan while the mixed colouring makes it particularly versatile for both clothing and accessories.

Poly viscose tartan offers a softer, more fluid alternative to traditional wool tartan, making it comfortable to wear and easy to incorporate into a wide range of sewing projects.

New To Poly Viscose Tartan?

Poly viscose tartan combines the traditional appearance of woven tartan with a softer and more accessible handle than many classic wool tartans.
